Hi! I’m Catherine, founder of Sludge.

As a former athlete and lifelong foodie, I’ve always had one problem: finding high-protein desserts that don’t taste like… well, protein.

Every time I searched for a quick, healthy cookie dough recipe, I ran into the same problems: too many calories, too little protein, or a list of obscure ingredients I definitely didn’t have in my pantry.

So I did what I usually do when faced with a good problem—I went to the kitchen. With a master’s degree in Food Science and a Patisserie Certificate from Le Cordon Bleu, I figured I had a decent shot at figuring it out.

After a lot of experimenting (and tasting), Sludge was born—a way to satisfy my craving for a high-protein, low calorie treat while simplifying those random ingredients into one blend. Just add plain Greek yogurt, and you get exactly that.

Check out the Sludgosopher’s Guide to explore the many other ways to enjoy Sludge, and let us know how you’ve added your own personalized twist. 

I hope you enjoy eating it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
